I like the glasses I got from Look at Terminal 21 Asok. They have test glasses to check your prescription.
Make sure your prescription is correct.

Sorry Chinese tourists are a menace. I've seen it too many times and so do the Thai's. They're largely not welcome from what I can tell.
Have you seen the news in Thailand lately? Chinese tourists >>>>> farang tourists

I wouldn't recommend benzos. They can be really addictive. Then you are just trading 1 addictive behavior for another.
Look into Ozempic/Wegovy that is used for weight loss.

Yes, but the level of the kick is relevant. I could punch you on the arm but the punch might not hurt you, or I could punch you and maybe it really does hurt you. Saying I punched your arm does not tell anyone how much pain I caused, it only tells people my fist touched your arm.
My point is the wording doesn't tell the full story.
And why does everyone on here immediately assume it was a serious kick or that the Thai woman isn't blowing a little kick all out of proportion. After all she has accepted the apology but still want to press charges, possibly causing the Russian woman and her partner far more significant harm.
How do you lightly kick a pregnant woman?
The police has seen the CCTV video and pressed charges. Also, the Russian woman can lose her visa.- 1

or is it just a classic case of familiarity breeding contempt?
do I just need to find a new place to eat?
This has happened on multiple occasions in different parts of the country.
I decided to start this a while back as kind of a social experiment.
What I found was the dumb farang fresh off the boat gets more respect and better service than the average Thai speaking expat does.
Make of that what you will.
bob.
How much contempt do you have for Thailand and Thais in general?
What do you actually like about Thailand?

If we are being fair, we don't know that the Police officer was 'an aggressor'...
... there's a lot of language being used in this story that highlights bias...
... Aggressor, victim, subdued, attacked, controlled etc...
As voyeurs to this story, all we do know is that one NZ Guy disarmed a Thai policeman... We don't know if the policeman had become an aggressor in the eyes of the NZ guys (and reasonable opinion) by that point, or if the NZ acted with idiotic oversight.
... a lot of the argument and debate on this forum revolves around what we can see and interpret... There is a strong argument to suggest there is a lot more to this story than is reported.
Sure, there is a lot of speculation on what happened. The most important thing is hard evidence. The prosecution has a video and at least 2 Thai eyewitnesses. What hard evidence does the defense have? Context has no meaning/importance if there is no hard evidence to back it up.

Anyone else care to finish the joke?
Per ChatGPT:
An Indian, a British, and a French driver were arrested for drunk driving in Patong.
At the police station, they were asked to explain themselves.
The British driver, Mr. Myles, spoke first, "Your Honor, I must admit, I had a few too many pints celebrating England's victory. It was reckless, and I regret it deeply."
The French driver, Mr. Alexandre, nodded in agreement, "Indeed, monsieur le juge, I got carried away with the fine wines of Patong. It was a foolish mistake, and I accept full responsibility."
Then it was the Indian driver's turn, Mr. Manoj. The judge asked him, "And what about you, Mr. Manoj? Why were you driving under the influence?"
Mr. Manoj scratched his head, then confidently stated, "Your Honor, I had to drink because the bar had a 'buy one, get one free' offer! It's a frugal opportunity."
The courtroom fell silent for a moment, then erupted into laughter. Even the judge couldn't contain his amusement.
As Mr. Manoj's statement was clearly illogical and focused on cheapness, it brought embarrassment not only to himself but also to his entire ethnic group, leaving them shaking their heads in disbelief.
The humans on Aseannow laughed and laughed and welcomed their new AI overlords.- 3

7 minutes ago, sambum said:Some friends of mine got caught drinking illegally during the Covid lockdown, and were arrested and put in the cells overnight, and appeared in court the next day via a video link. One guy that was arrested was sitting at a table in the street, on his own, not drinking but was chatting with the others when the police turned up. An interpreter explained what the court procedure would be and she said "You will state your name and then plead guilty". He objected and said that he wasn't drinking, there was no drink on his table, and was only talking to some friends, so he was going to plead not guilty. The interpreter said "OK, up to you, but what will happen (and I guarantee that this is what will happen) is that you will be remanded in custody for upwards of a week, you will have to hire yourself an expensive lawyer, and when you appear in court again, you WILL be found guilty, and your punishment will be twice what you would have received if you had pleaded guilty in the first place!" He decided to plead guilty!
From a paper I'm reading on the Thai justice system:
"In one case, I saw a court security officer ask a MalayMuslim defendant who was unable to read Thai to sign the summary of his testimony, even before it had been translated to him. The defendant signed without hesitation. Co-operating with the court procedures is a requirement in Thailand, not an option: to assert your rights as a defendant is to question the integrity of the proceedings and to brand yourself as a troublemaker."It seems that as a defendant, you really can't defend yourself.

Some interesting tidbits about the Thai justice system:
1) criminal trials are typically heard and decided by a panel of judges
2) conviction rates in Thailand are above 95%

I am waiting for someone to bring up stories and maybe a police record of these guys from NZ.
How likely is it that two law abiding citizens suddenly behave like that in a foreign country?
How stupid and ignorant do they have to be to think they can get away with that?
Well, some people can act crazy while they are on holiday. Some people try to jump into their hotel's pool from their balcony.

Not wise, but why else would a couple of Kiwis do this? Looking at their creds, I’d prolly trust their word over a Phuket traffic cop’s, who, let’s be honest have a pretty bad reputation.
Reports say the brothers started shouting at the cop after stopping. The cop started recording them on his phone and then the brothers attacked him.

hmm.. not sure malaysian's hit the bars, restaurants, pubs and clubs in the same way that farangs do?
bob.
I assume they like bars, restaurants and clubs. Not beer bars or gogo bars. They do like shopping malls like Terminal 21.
According to Stickman's restaurant owners, the biggest spending group are the Chinese. Do you live in Phuket? There are a lot of Asians in those expensive seafood restaurants.

they love their money though it would seem.
taxi drivers, hoteliers, restauranteurs..
where would they and their families be without that farang money?
bob.
Probably living off that Asian money.
Malaysia was the top source market for foreign tourists to Thailand in 2023, with 4.4 million arrivals, followed by China with 2.7 million arrivals, Singapore with 1.9 million, and India with 1.6 million.
